	Hi,

Is pptpd compatible with 2.4.1 kernel ?
I used previously on a 2.2.x kernel without any problems, but now I get the
following messages in syslog:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
Mar  6 17:03:06 onyx pptpd[7136]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd,
opening GRE)
Mar  6 17:03:06 onyx modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108
Mar  6 17:03:06 onyx modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0
Mar  6 17:03:06 onyx modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module tty-ldisc-3
Mar  6 17:03:06 onyx pppd[7137]: ioctl(TIOCSETD(PPP)): Invalid argument(22)
Mar  6 17:03:06 onyx pptpd[7136]: GRE: read(fd=4,buffer=804da00,len=8196)
from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error
Mar  6 17:03:06 onyx pptpd[7136]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed
(pty,gre)=(4,5)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

Where does this problem come from ?
   - bad kernel configuration, so that some modules are missing
(char-major-108, ppp0, tty-ldisc-3).
   - pptpd / kernel 2.4.1 incompatibility
   - some patch missing in my kernel sources
   - something else ....


Can anyone help me with this problem ?

Thanks,

Nicolas JOUANIN.
